The LT1226 is a low noise, very high speed operational amplifier with excellent DC performance. The LT1226 features low input offset voltage and high DC gain. The circuit is a single gain stage with outstanding settling characteristics. The fast settling time makes the circuit an ideal choice for data acquisition systems. The output is capable of driving a 500 load to 12V with 15V supplies and a 150 load to 3V on 5V supplies. The circuit is also capable of driving large capacitive loads which makes it useful in buffer or cable driver applications.
